So the RR motors are built by Yamaha and then sent to RR as a complete motor?

They have a motor builder who will use GYTR parts.

Old school.

GU has been around a long time. I remember running in road races when GU, powerbar (the ones that were like chocolate leather), and gatorade were all there was....

Those kids are nuts.  I used to teach a senior design class there and those college girls (who look like children to me, sadly not attractive) would be wearing almost nothing outside in the winter doing a pregame function.

Johnsons Creek, WI. A small town right off the I-94 between Milwaukee and the state capital of Madison.

I just checked their website and they only have 2 modded bikes listed. Nothing crazy though, just suspension, full exhaust etc. Probably have more bikes in spring when their riders are trading up to new models. Oh, they do have one of their custom race trailers listed for 99,000.

Before this run on bikes over the summer, they had quite a few race bikes in the shop. Amart's 2015 was there for a while too. Every race bike is sold in the shop after the season. It's a nice place, generally a lot of inventory too.

Certainly the difference between brands was greater back then, and with the aggressive development schedule they were leap frogging each other constantly.

The contingency gig is a bit odd as manufacturers seem to award contingencies to specific tracks or promoters while leaving others high and dry.  It doesn't appear to be meritocracy.
